歌詞

( Patty Griffin Cover ) Mary You're covered in roses You're covered in ashes You're covered in rain You're covered in babies You're covered in slashes You're covered in wilderness You're covered in stains You cast aside the sheet You cast aside the shroud Of another man, who serves the world proud You greet another son and you lose another one On some sunny day and always you stay Mary Jesus said Mother I couldn't stay another day longer He flies right by and leaves a kiss upon her face While the angels were singin' his praises in a blaze of glory Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place Oh Mary You move behind me You leave you fingerprints everywhere Everytime the snow drifts Every way the sand shifts Even when the night lifts, you're always there You cast aside the sheet You cast aside the shroud Of another man, who serves the world proud You greet another son and you lose another one On some sunny day and always you stay Mary Jesus said Mother I couldn't stay another day longer He flies right by and leaves a kiss upon her face While the angels were singin' his praises in a blaze of glory Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place Oh Mary You're covered in roses You're covered in ruins You're covered in secrets Your'e covered in treetops You're covered in birds Who can sing a million songs without any words You cast aside the sheet You cast aside the shroud Of another man, who serves the world proud You greet another son and you lose another one On some sunny day and always you stay Always you stay Mary Na, na, na... Oh Mary
